he didnt frequent bars

one of the reasons why he didnt approached him from behind as he watched them in the gold vein mirrored tiles behind the bar

the man mopedstaggered

was drunkwas looking for an unattached victim

unfortunately he just ordered another beer to beat the end of Happy Hour an hour which now was going to be inappropriately named Wait he scolded himself it ended in five minutes the drunk coming up behind him the mopey stealthyself wouldnt arrive inside those five minutes

Buckle in spaceman he thoughthe chided himself

the bar/brewery made a handful of beers and they just released their seasonal anniversary double IPA which was a favorite of his since the first time he had it five years earlier

he eyeballed the calendar so he didnt miss it

                                                and fortunately for the incoming stumblebum this was the third week it was available and he had enjoyed unmolested pints in that time 

Baby the rain must fall he thought  No fuckin way that 45 was on the jukebox

the rambling ray of sunshine approached him over his right shoulder 

he sat closest the wall

he was lefthanded

Hey, man, haya?

Haya  Fine  Ya

Yeah. Yeah. Iam fine.

Whats up

Yasee, yasee Berg online?

he was gratefulalmost that he cut to the chase it had been years since Nick Berg was decapitated and the video released

No

NO. Yadidnt watch?

Why would I watch that

                          he could feel his irritation rising Lemme enjoy my beer though this fuck is definitely hampered he was going to beat him unrelentingly maybe teach him two lesson dont watch shit and dont complain about the shit you decided to watch

Yaknow boutit.

I do.

Yadidnt watch.

Why would I want to see a helpless man slaughtered I dont subscribe to the word evil but that would come close So Id ask you why dafuck youd want to see a man butchered  Yaknew he was before ya went to the site

Eyyah, eyyah . . I donknow.

Ya dont know Seems to me ifya didnt then ya shouldntve

I . . I . . . I can’t get it out of my head.

I cant help ya

Lemme buyya . . 

. .No thank you Im finishin my beer and walkin home

Eyyah, eyyah . . didn’t mean . . 

. . Yadid  Yadidnt see me see ya but yadid  So if I may enjoy my beer alone

Cold, man, yer cold.

Cold You come up on me to talk about a man getting his head cut off with a knife an Im cold So now I aint askin take a hikeleave me alone

Ar? he stood uprighttried what he thought was intimidating  

Or

Yah. he leaned forward but had to catch himself with a hand at the bar

he turned utterly away and looked at himselfthe lout beside him in the gold vein mirrored tiles Nothin Ill cry Mommie to bartender Youre harassin me An its better he contends with you

the drunk rolled back on his heels Yah?

he made eye contact with the barkeep

the barkeep floated down Jimmy. Jimmy? Leave the man alone. He wants to enjoy his beer.

Yah?

Jimmy. Walk away or I’ll have to walk you out the door.

he turned to Jimmy Sorry the video disturbed you Hope you learned lesson Me Id rather watch people fuck then people die

Jimmy stumbled backwards 

                               a couple of locals working up to the bar to order caught himheld him up so he didnt fall

Jimmy ignored them flailed a bit to be unhanded treated them asif their existence had been to be right there to catch him

the bartender said Thanks, gents.

Jimmy said shit

the guys sidestepped him once it seemed to them Jimmy was stable

YAD RATHER WATCH PORN. Jimmy yelled at his back trying to embarrass him 

Jimmy didnt know that nothing embarrassed him thick fuckin skin  grew up in the city in Chicago 

he turned on his stool to face Jimmy  Yah  Porn  Better than a human being slaughtered
